its notjust its not just the for all deals put its notjust the past 18 months that fans say have been difficult for them, with all this wrangling over a takeover. they would say it had been the past 1a years, a lot of them criticising mike ashley since he took over the club all that time ago. it has been relegated twice, there have been protests here and a petition handed to parliament over concerns about the way it was run. that is why the prospect of this deal means so much to them, they say could give them hope, the hope of playing top—level football, of winning trophies. this is a £300 million deal which would make newcastle one of the richest in the world and this club is the beating heart of this city. it would transform the lives notjust of the fans and players but newcastle as well. ., . ., ~ , fans and players but newcastle as well. ., ., ., ~ , . time for a look at the weather. here's nick miller. and there's a catch, this is yesterday! it's we have had a bit

about whether transformation in the past 2a hours which makes us think about what sort of autumn weather we prefer. yesterday might have felt quite fresh, and this view on the south coast shows there was plenty of sunshine but fast forward 2a hours, same location on a different weather, cloud and mist and fog but it is milder what's going on? we had low pressure to the north—west of the uk and ex how sam is missing is but drawing ahead of it a lot of very mild air coming from south of the uk which is why temperatures have gone up but the warmer colours don't translate into sunshine on this flow there was plenty of moisture and cloud coming and there was a weather front over scotland and northern ireland which are stuck for several days with cloud and upwards of rain even though it is milder here as well, just if you write to breaks around the very first point of north—west england, north and west wales have outbreaks of rain, the rest of wales and england are mainly dry, a lot of cloud with fog across parts of south—east england but where get

some sunshine from the parts of yorkshire and east midlands, perhaps up yorkshire and east midlands, perhaps up to 22 degrees. not too unusual this time of year but already warmer than the whole of october last year! going into tonight, we continue with outbreaks of rain in northern ireland and scotland, clearing from northern scotland but as for england and wales, with clear spells, fog developing in east anglia and the south—east. 0vernight, temperatures are closer to where they should be by date this time of year, in fact the record overnight and is in northern ireland and scotland for october. with where the rain at october. with where the rain at times into tomorrow, putting back into northern scotland, fog gradually clearing in east anglia and the south—east england but still keeping low cloud and maybe a bit of rain but overall for wales and england tomorrow, looking like a brighter date with more sunny spells and temperatures again into the high teens and low 20s, likely to feel even a bit warmer. at the weekend, the front bringing the rain to scotland and northern ireland will gradually move south and clear before that parts of western could

get over 100 millimetres of rain so there's the risk of flooding and travel disruption but it will gradually clear off on saturday. after delivering a bit more rain as it does but it then draws in cooler air behind. and a bit largely fine day across much of england and wales on saturday. the front will move south overnight into sunday, not much rain left on it and after that it reintroduces cooler air into the uk, high pressure, plenty of dry weather next week but in contrast to mild night at moment, there is the risk of frost. that has got everything you could want for and more! thank you! a reminder of our top story. businesses say higher energy costs could lead to higher prices in the shops. from the bbc news i want so it is goodbye for me and on bbc one, we nowjoin the bbc news teams where you are.

we also believe that taking the vaccine or not is a personal choice. we need to make sure that the players are able to make an educated decision based on science. the national women's soccer league resumed last night in the united states after matches were suspended following the dismissal of the head coach, of carolina courage, paul riley, amid allegations of sexual misconduct. players stopped on the field in the sixth minute of the games and linked arms in a circle to demonstrate solidarity, with two former players — shinaid farrelly, and mana shim — who came forward with allegations of sexual harassment and misconduct against riley, who was fired last thursday. riley denies the allegations. andtoo cricket... england all—rounder ben stokes is unlikely to play in the ashes against australia this winter, after a second operation on his injured left index finger stokes took an indefinite break from cricket injuly, to protect his mental health and rest his finger which he first

as the host of the glasgow summit, the uk wants to set an example to the rest of the world. it does have some pretty ambitious targets, but setting targets, and actually changing policy to achieve them, are two different things. so, how's the government doing? let's take the overall target first of sharply reducing emissions of the greenhouse gases that are warming the planet up. there's a legal requirement to get to net zero emissions by the middle of the century, which means the country taking out as much greenhouse gas from the atmosphere as you put in. and the government has promised a 68% reduction in emissions compared to 1990 levels by 2030, and a 78% reduction by 2035. there's a good start to build on. total emissions have already fallen by 45% by 2019. but most of that reduction was achieved by removing coal — the most polluting fossil fuel — from energy systems. and that was the easy bit. further reductions are going to have a much more direct impact on all of us.

the independent climate change committee says it needs to deliver more and publish detailed strategies to reduce emissions from heating buildings, that is expected soon. from transport and from the production of food. let's look at specific pledges. when it comes to heating our homes which counts for 14% of the uk's greenhouse emissions, the government has committed to installing 600,000 heat pumps a year by 2028 to replace gas boilers. heat pumps transfer heat from the air, the ground or the water around a property. the climate change committee says the target should be 900,000 installations a year. the latest available figures say that in 2019, only 35,000 were installed and only work well if your home is properly insulated. so, plenty to do. transport is another big issue and the government has said new petrol and diesel cars will be phased out by 2030. the sale of electric cars is growing fast — up from 2.5% of the total in 2018

to just over one in ten new cars last year. but you need to charge all those cars. there are currently about 25,000 charging points in the country and the competition and markets authority says there needs to be ten times that number by the end of the decade. planting trees is really important because trees help remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. the government has promised to plant 30,000 hectares of trees a year by 2025 — a hectare is a bit bigger than a football pitch. we have planted that much in this country since the 1980s. and most of the recent planting has happened in scotland. in england a lot more needs to be done. what about capturing and storing carbon securely either early before it is released or taking it out of the air? the government wants to capture 10 million tonnes of carbon dioxin by 2030. experts say they should be

aiming for double that. the trouble is the technology is so new it will not be scaled up enough in time to make a big difference this decade. overall, the climate change committee is saying could do better. in the latest update it says a pattern has emerged in government strategies that are later than planned and when they do emerge, they are short of required policy ambition. the prime minister said that he hope that all electricity in this country could be generated by renewable resources by 2025. climate researchers say this would be a really big deal, but the challenge is putting the promises into practice. that was chris morris can i the headlines. energy bills could increase by hundreds of pounds next year because of another big rise in wholesale prices — and it's causing concern about the cost of living. prince andrew is granted access to a sealed document his lawyers say could end the sexual abuse case being brought by virginia giuffre. the queen has launched the baton relay for next year's

commonwealth games which will take place in birmingham. as we've been hearing, a takeover of newcastle united football club could be "imminent." a long—awaited £300 million deal between mike ashley and a consortium which includes investors from saudi arabia is said to be close. it comes after a dispute involving the middle east broadcaster bein sports, was resolved — this had been a stumbling block to the english premier league approving the takeover. the reports have been welcomed by two former players turned commentators. the fans of newcastle have been through an awful lot. the club is unrecognisable to the club i used to play for. and when we had some amazing championship league nights at st. james' park. that place is a

anyway, i got back to the car in the morning, the shoes were gone, so my tennis shoes for the tournament had been stolen, so i had to go to the local pro shop and buy different shoes to what i normally wear, a different brand and everything, which isn't the end of the world, but obviously not ideal. but, anyway, as i was preparing for my practice, my physio said to me, "where is your wedding ring?" and i was like, "oh, no." and i basically tie my wedding ring to my tennis shoes when i'm playing, because i can't play with it on my hand, so, yeah, my wedding rings been stolen as well, so needless to say, i'm in the bad books at home, so i want to try and find it, so, if, yeah, if anyone can share this or may have any clue where they may be, it would be very helpful, so i can try and get it back and get

to the bottom of it. it would be much appreciated, thank you. andy murray. that is what happens when your shoes smell. here is the weather forecast. we have had a weather transformation which makes us think about what sort of autumn whether we prefer. yesterday it felt quite fresh, but there was plenty of sunshine on the south coast of england. 24 hours later, same location, very different weather. cloudy, misty and it is milder as it is across the uk. what is going on? this area of low pressure contains the former hurricane sam. it is bringing in a lot of mild air into the uk. that does not translate into sunshine. there's a lot of cloud and moisture. there's a lot of cloud and moisture. there is a weather front draped
